Development of a liquid-nitrogen-induced homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction of Co(II) and Ni(II) from water and fruit juice samples followed by atomic absorption spectrometry detection.

In this study, a simple and rapid sample preparation method named liquid-nitrogen-induced homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction has been developed for the extraction and pre-concentration of Co(II) and Ni(II) ions before their analysis by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. For this purpose, first, acetonitrile containing 8-hydroxyquinoline is added into a sample solution and the mixture is vortexed. As a result, a homogeneous solution is formed.

Cyclohexylamine as extraction solvent and chelating agent in extraction and preconcentration of some heavy metals in aqueous samples based on heat-induced homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction.

A new sample preparation method has been developed for extraction and preconcentration of some heavy metal cations in aqueous samples using cyclohexylamine-based homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction. In the proposed method, cyclohexylamine was used as both the complexing agent and the extraction solvent. For this purpose, cyclohexylamine at µL level was initially added into an aqueous solution containing Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) ions which was placed in a glass test tube.
